VIDEO: A house fire on Tuesday morning has left a family without a home and a firefighter with serious injuries. In Marinette the community is reacting to the tragedy.
Jessica Wille lives across the street from the fire.
"It just makes me want to cry,” she said. "I couldn't believe, honestly, the smoke and the flames. I've never seen a house burn like that."
Marinette Assistant Chief Steve Campbell responded to that fire and one if his men suffered serious injuries after the room he entered spontaneously caught on fire. That fireman was transported to receive care in Milwaukee.
"He’s my brother. I'm extremely concerned,” Assistant Chief Campbell said. “I just got off the phone with him. He's in high spirits right now. So, we are grateful for that and that he will be able to tell the tale."
